Description

This is the sixth volume in the Oxford Classical Texts series of Livy and contains a Latin text (without translation), together with full apparatus criticus and Latin introduction, of Books 36-40. It covers the period from 192 to 179 B.C. during which Rome gained control of Greeks and Asia, and struggled for dominance of northern Italy and Spain. Livy also depicts this period as the beginning of Roman moral decline.
